After one year and a half, IHEP scientists recently finished and delivered over 200 accelerator components for the waveguide system at MAX IV Project to Lund University in Sweden, which marked that IHEP accelerator components landed in northern Europe for the first time.

In 2011，IHEP was appointed as the official supplier of the components in microwave and vacuum system of the MAX IV Project. In 2012, MAX-lab at Lund University announced that IHEP won the bid for the waveguide system of the MAX IV Project over another four internationally-renowned microwave companies. This time, the delivered microwave components included high power waveguide phase shifter and attenuator, high power ceramic window and SiC load, which were all developed from the microwave components at BEPCII.

MAX IV will be the next generation synchrotron radiation facility in Sweden. It will replace the existing laboratory consisting of the MAX I, II and III storage rings. The main sources at MAX IV are two storage rings (1.5 GeV and 3 GeV) with state-of-the-art low emittance for the production of soft and hard x-rays. The linac injector will provide short pulses to a short pulse facility. This solution allows the production of synchrotron radiation with optimal characteristics in a wide energy region, fulfilling the needs of the most diverse research areas.
